Passions

When I started writing this blog, my idea was very much to chart the musical life of an amateur tuba player, but find that a lot of what I write is about my gardening. I think this is a reflection of both my life and my passion. On the course we are currently following in my Church Home Group the writer comments that "you can tell where a Christian's passions are by what he prays about", well, I think you can tell a bloggers passions by what they blog about.

We watched the wonderful film Julie and Julia the other night, following a couple of women who followed their passions, eventually finding success and fulfillment through food (another passion of mine). This is an excellent film especially interesting to foodies, but very funny and absorbing to anyone. It also got me thinking about passions.

Clearly music and gardening are currently my two personal over riding passions - I have made a conscious decision not to write about my family - so that will be they will form majority of this blog. I am writing this first thing in the morning, so now I am off to work, this morning pressure washing a patio, I just hope I manage to leave some of the pointing in place.

More later, hopefully with some nice photos.
